Feminists and many other liberals have signed on to the Romney campaign
after his shocking revelation that his mother and his wife were both women.
The Obama campaign response was to reach out to racist conservatives by reminding them that his mother was white.
A spokesperson for Jill Stein, candidate of the Green Party, said “Jill is both a woman and white and given the intellectual level of the corporate campaigns that should be enough to put her in the, uh, white house.”

ggita32: Please define “Feminist.”
Don’t just parrot a term from the past or someone else’s word.
What is a “feminist” to you?
I’m a woman, and I define the word as: “a female that insists of the same rights as a male. This being, in education, voting, the right to have a professional career, with the same salary as males. …rather than marrying and staying home bearing and raising children.
The rights to Contraception, if I do NOT want children.
I do insist on redress in case of coersion, beatings or rapes. And the Right to Protest if this is denied. And the Right to protect myself in cases of Physical abuse.
‘In other words, the same Human Rights and Civil Right as a male, which are only an extension of Human Rights, anyway.
So, tell me, what is your definition of “Feminism.”
.
Mary, please
geeeee, your definition is fine with me but of course I’m not a woman so you would know better than I. I think you missed the point of this post though.
Mary,
You missed the point the post was making and ggita32 just didn’t pull the word feminist out of the hat in a derogatory manner, and really ggita32′s definition doesn’t matter in this case. Try re-reading the post again and then you might get a clearer picture of what the post is saying.
A humanist is someone who believes that all human beings should be raised to be strong-willed independent and courageously self-confident beings who are unafraid of speaking the truth as they see it.
If that’s what feminists truly believed in, they would not need a new term.
A feminist is one who believes in the theory that demonizing men so that men will relinquish their willpower and allow women to become more powerful. Take one moment to think about the word feminism and any thinking person knows that it is the emphasis on one side of human manifestation and not the other side. Feminism is not a balanced approach and that is why it needs to distort and invent statistics trying to show that all past history was about men “oppressing” women – this false claim is then used by feminists to claim that the pendulum needs to swing back to their side and that they need to take power in an unbalanced way to avenge the power they falsely believe has been denied them.
Feminists have made it clear over and over that they do not wish to see young women trained to be fierce, courageous and strong-willed women who are proud to act with integrity. Instead, like any psychotic who invents new problems to avoid dealing with the ones the psychotic does not want to face, feminists spend an inordinate amount of time trying to make men feel more guilty, less confident and less strong by spouting out how dull men are, how insensitive, how the “just don’t get it” and how they are less necessary than a bicycle to a fish. Feminism is an outgrowth of puritanism, it is based on guilt and blame. No thinking person can claim it is making women stronger, it just attempts to make men weaker, not understanding that weak men will treat women worse than ever.
Don’t believe the liars that say feminism is just the belief that women have the same rights as men. If that were true the George Bush (and Romney as well for that matter) are feminists and the whole feminist movement would have been unnecessary.
Jay,
Thanks for that insightful post. One day with any luck more than just a handful of people will see where you are coming from.
All the best mate.
The siffix ism meamns top keep things the same and do not change anything. So within that discription women can only stay the same as they are and not morph into something else. Just sayin.
When I worked construction the women could not hold up as Electricians. They were mostly interested in proving they could get along as do the blacks rather than anything else. The work load was way too much for them in most every trade. So where is the equal opportunity for the people who can do the work properly.
If Humanism and fair play were at work there would be no need for Femanism or any other ism. Especially Baptism.
The entire planet is screwed up because of 99and1/2 percent of all of the wealth is in the hands of the very few. It has always been the way of this country to leach off of the backs of free labor and exploit the underclass. It is the only way this system can stand up. In 1860 the EVE of the civli war Black People owned 1.1% of this nations wealth and there were only 265 thousand free black people with 4 million slaves. Today Blacks own 1.1% of the Nations wealth and have not moved ahead one iota.
The illusion of television is got them happy and content looking at the shiney things trinkets, and all of the safe negro, blacks on T.V.
We are all being exploited today and have always been exploited by the Pope and the Governments and clergy of the world. If the fight was about equality real equality and not some joking contest About who is right and who is wrong. James Brown says it is a mans world. There have been many Femanin rulers in the world as far back as Cleopatra and Nefertitti and Hepsetut and England Queens, India’s female rulers and Pakastan. It is European and Western Culture (if you can cll it that) Which inhibits everything by orders from the pope and the rulers of the dominatating European races.
Femanism in my opinion is just a diversion from reality as is everything else in the wicked society. Getting people caught up on it to deceive them. Racism, femanism etc is when a group beof like people get together and influenmce economic and social stability for themselves. And this is what game the Blacks have not yet learned to play. If women want equality they had better learn to behave and get along with each other and stop sucking up to men. They are in posession of the most powerful weapon on the planet with no exception in my book.
The point of the post is how the two party political system is exploiting the group who identifies with the feminism movement, keeping the division bells ringing. The dog and pony show continues….
As plucass comments, “We are all being exploited today and have always been exploited by the Pope and the Governments and clergy of the world. If the fight was about equality, real equality and not some joking contest About who is right and who is wrong.”
The Femanism people ar pretty much like the Blacks. They do not know how to stick together and are always infiltrated and turning on each other. Women slander each other like it is going out of style, over just little things like that shade of lipstick and such or did she really come out of the house l;ike that. They get caught up in trying to be accepted by the established beliefs. We, all oif us have very little time left in this here state that is about to turn very ugly. If you stick together you will have a better chance to survive and this is what continuity and cooperation bring to groups. Femanism as well as racism is a team sport that you must play to win. If you are not even in the game you can not expect to get any of the benifits.
Racism is a very necessary part of human existance. and this is in my opinion an equal opportunity sport. If you can blay basket ball, baseball, and enjoy it you should be able to play the racism game and enjoy it also as many people already do.
We should and must have equality in our societies but we are not all equal. There are down sindrome children and retarded children born to everyone.
Just a little note for awareness here. Withthin 10 years it is estimated that 3/4ths of the black people in Africa will be dead from a man made disease called AIDS. I know this does not fit but I just had to do it. These are my own opinions only.
“Feminists Flock to Romney”. Ouch. That hurts. I thought feminists were involved in sustained equal rights in employment, and other areas and concerned over the rights having to do with legislation over what a woman does with her own body. Now you say feminist women have junked all that for a compulsive liar and cheat who looks like an underwear model who gets fluffed up by a guy like Obama for the photos. I am deeply hurt. This is indeed a cruel world.
